Sharpcast Introduces New Pricing for SugarSync

PALO ALTO, Calif., April 2, 2008 /PRNewswire/ — Sharpcast today said it will lower the price of its subscription plans for SugarSync, the company’s new award-winning synchronization service, effective immediately. The move is in response to very rapid adoption of the service at the promotional 50% introductory pricing, which the company will now offer as the regular subscription plan pricing. SugarSync is available for free trial at www.sugarsync.com.

Sharpcast Chief Executive Officer Gibu Thomas said, “Since launching SugarSync two weeks ago, we’ve been thrilled with the positive response for the product and customer momentum. Our customers have told us emphatically that they love the service and want to use it for their entire media collection, not just a subset, at an affordable price. We’re listening to them and responding immediately, offering what is not only the best user experience in the market for file synchronization, backup, and remote and mobile access, but also the best value.”
